Programming an ATtiny1606 with USBasp

Projects Programming
1

Hello all
As the title suggests. I have an ATtiny1606 breadboarded. I usually program my ATtiny chips using my USBasp lead.
I use a 6 pin header - (0v, 5v, Mosi, Miso, Sck, Reset) and that usually works fine.

But, when I pick ATtiny 1606 from the megaTinycore boards manager, USBasp isn't listed.

Is there a way to add this to the list, or is it missing for a particular reason? None of my other board managers have the 1606 listed

The Attiny generation that is supported by MegaTinycore require a different way of programming.

They use UPDI, which is a single wire serial communication.

You can make a programmer rather easy from a Serial USB adapter and a diode (or resistor)

Thanks. I'll look into that
